Join Us for the 2025 Native American Bearing Witness Retreat!

Dear Friends,

We are thrilled to invite you to the Native American Bearing Witness Retreat, happening July 15–20, 2025, in the sacred Black Hills of South Dakota. This is a rare and profound opportunity to step into history, listen deeply, and engage in a transformative experience alongside Indigenous leaders and fellow seekers.

This retreat is more than just a gathering—it is a call to open our hearts, expand our understanding, and stand in solidarity with Native communities. Together, we will immerse ourselves in the stories, landscapes, and spiritual significance of this land, honoring both its beauty and its painful history.

Why You Won’t Want to Miss This:
Bear Witness to the lived history of the Black Hills and its ongoing significance.
Learn from Indigenous Voices who share their wisdom, struggles, and hopes for the future.
Engage in Deep Listening & Reflection, cultivating compassion and connection.
Experience the Three Tenets of Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness, and Taking Action in a powerful, real-world setting.
Join a Community of people committed to justice, healing, and transformation.

If you have ever felt called to deepen your understanding of Indigenous history and resilience—or if you seek a meaningful way to engage in peacemaking—this retreat is for you.

🌿 Spaces are limited—reserve your spot today! 🌿
